There’s been a lot of talk about whether you can actually tell if someone’s lying. I’ve covered it on recent podcasts involving #Survivor, #TheTraitors, & reality! I was catching up on podcasts & this one on lie detection is great: https://bodyofevidence.ca/interview-vincent-denault-on-lie-detection-pseudoscience

Mind you, I’m about to record a podcast about someone who lied poorly & did so recently on a #TheTraitorsUK podcast too. I think people absolutely can be bad liars but this podcast is about supposedly being able to pick up on specific things.

I was back again as guest co-host on The Traidar podcast to discuss The Traitors UK Finale (the full season is available on Peacock)! In addition to covering all the action of a VERY interesting final episode, we discussed some endgame problems and potential future strategy for Traitors players. We also gave our thoughts on whether one player cheated in the finale! Listen now!

Finished up #TheTraitorsUK — Without spoiling anything, I found Maddy *so annoying* because she was always SO SURE she had the answers. And her confidence never weakened when she was wrong. It just reminded me so much of certain types of people on social media.

Unrelated but also in The Traitors UK — A player was offered a bribe to leave in a situation similar to what we’ve seen on #TheMole. But they were only offered 3,000 pounds! That’s WAY less!

Que fantasía de programa ha sido #TheTraitorsUK Es que me he bebido la temporada completa en un suspiro. https://tvtime.com/r/2Hod7

Home from band practice, which went well, but was sodding freezing. Note use of scarf and cap indoors. #RockStar #MiddleAgedRocker

Just tucked into some steamed dumplings to warm me up, and am now watching ep9 of #TheTraitors. JFC the logic these people use for finding traitors is shite. They keep saying “Well I know you’re a faithful…” - No. No you don’t you idiot. You’re just guessing. #TheTraitorsUK

watching #TheTraitorsUK is frustrating bc the chyron keeps stating that Hannah is a comedian and I haven’t heard a single fucking funny thing out of her mouth yet

Home from a particularly good badminton session, where I did my Yoda (ie. looking like a decrepit old man, but moving faster and more deadly than anyone expected, via the pub.

Time for some more #TheTraitors #TheTraitorsUK. I’m on ep6 now.

¡Nuevo episodio! s12e27: El Salón De La Justicia en el que hablamos de #TheTraitorsUK. Ahora estamos viendo la versión USA y, dentro de poco, tendremos la española... ¡Pero la británica nos ha encantado! Esperamos que os guste :) https://delsofaalacocina.com/2023/01/s12e27-el-salon-de-la-justicia-the-traitors-uk/

Just finished binge-watching #TheTraitorsUK and #TheTraitorsUS... there goes my week. But it's interesting to see the same setting and most of the same games with contestants from different cultures. The US one was definitely nastier.

I'd now like to see Alan Cumming do #TheTraitors UK (not that Claudia Winkleman did anything wrong: it's just that he's playing a good character). But the US one shows that we can do without existing #realitytv stars!

Just give them all the #BAFTAs. #TheTraitorsUK

Binged in 2 days, #TheTraitorsUK was fucking AMAZING telly!!! So so so good. Gagged SO many times 😱

#TheTraitorsUK Episode 6

It’s like watching The Triad from the latter episodes of Charmed.

They needed the early eliminated contestants coming back to do it though!

#TheTraitorsUK Episode 5

The best argument for abolishing jury trials in the UK

#TheTraitorsUK Episode 3

So we’ve got rid of three women including 2 women of colour and a man of colour. The other main suspect is a gay man and finally a white man.

Judge for yourself!

#TheTraitorsUK Episode 2

Wow, the judgement of other people in a group situation is so bad. A very apt lesson to take away in real life.

This show, psychologically though is so revealing!

Late to the party I know but just watched the first episode of the #TheTraitorsUK and a couple of initial thoughts:

- Claudia Winkleman is bloody scary she wants to be;

- This’ll date me but reminds me of certain Jonathan Creek episodes; and

- I’m so binge watching now!

Christ it's taking a whole to get my sleeping patterns back on track.

It sort of doesn't matter until a work day hits next week.

Staying up all night glued to #TheTraitorsUK is something so should no longer do.

Well, I am going to be after staying up all night hooked on #TheTraitorsUK. Phenomenal format. Totally enthralling.

I am not 100% convinced it will work as well if they do it again with people having watched it but you never know.

They will certainly try.

Watched the final episode of #TheTraitorsUK today.

That was quite the finale. I'm very sad that Andrea didn't win. She and Amos were the only ones I liked.

Wilf, after all that, seemed quite decent at the end, which was a surprise after not only 'murdering' people but also arranging the banishment of all(!) of his fellow traitors (I mean, well played, but Christ on a bike!).

Well worth the watch.

Does anyone know who sang #PaintItBlack in one of the episodes please?
